Snow's

[Warrior]

What are your thought on Snow's?

Some people tell me that they are just white crows and no good to eat... What are your thoughts?

I just got a couple and plan on making them into jerky. I will let you know how they turn out.

Thanks

I gifted a lot of snows to my friends in Calgary and never heard any bad things about them as they were wrapped and cleaned like a Lilydale chicken without many pellets...In Sask they...they are the bottom of the food chain..that is why many locals don't shoot them ...taste like a crow which just ate a whitefish...heavy gammey swamp taste..
Heavy marinade..jerky should be okay.

Where did you gun down the snows? Was out to Nakama and saw a lot of honkers..no snows..not many ducks.

HERE IN SASK ALOT OF THE GUYS DONT SHOOT THEM, BUT WE'VE SHOT QUITE A FEW THIS YEAR.DOING THEM LIKE A TURKEY IN THE OVEN IS A GREAT WAY, SOAK EM IN SALT FOR THE DAY PREVIOUS AND THERE IS NO GAMEY TASTE AT ALL,SMELLED LIKE TURKEY COOKING, TASTED EXACTLY LIKE ROAST.

Snow geese have a bad reputation but are very good to eat. I usually skin them,grill 'em, put them in a gumbo, make sausage, stew......
If you know how to cook, try them. You will not be disappointed. I mix the breasts, hearts and gizzards with 50% pork and make sausage. It is better than ANY deer sausage I've ever eaten. Trust me.

there are 2 keys to cooking snows (or any other waterfowl) thoroughly clean any blood, silver skin, wound channels, etc off the meat, and cook to medium rare. that being said, i usually throw 10-12 snow goose breasts in the crock pot and do the bbq shredded sandwich method. most of my snows go towards jerky though, as it seems i always end up with birds that get the snot shot out of them.

a good recipe to try is get some "GAMETAMER" marinade and cube your snows into nice 1" x 1" chunks, marinade with gametamer, grille on high heat, sprinkle some hot sauce over them, and enjoy with your beverage of choice.

I have only had 1, but here is how I cooked it.

I took the complete breast, browned them for 10 min. in a 250 degree grill. Then turned them over for another 10. Wraped them completely with bacon, cooked another 10 per side. Increased the temp to crisp up the bacon a little. I thought it was really good.

I do this with Canada's also, cooking time varies a little for them.

stuff the heck out of it and put it in a gumbo...either that or make sausage!
